    Robbie having fun at Fido Field
    Kristina S.

    When I first moved to Cincinnati, I searched for all the dog parks in the region and was disappointed that there wasn't one close to home. I have loved Otto and Wags but there is something about walking your dog to a dog park that is preferred. Alas, Fido Field. Living in Mt Adams I just hop across the 71 from Van Meter and you are at the back entrance of the park. It is awesome. My dog isn't a fan of the gravel but there is lots of green space and brush. There is no water so be forewarned but I hear that they are trying to find funding to support water fountains and benches. I'm so glad that people went out of their way to provide this park for downtown dog owners!

    I have two large Pitbull pups who love this dog park! We live a block from Washington Park but the concrete, crowd, and smell of urine really bug me. Don't get me wrong, we enjoy going to Washington Park and appreciate its location. But if I want to give the boys a real treat, I walk them 10 blocks to Fido. This park is huge-Jordy and Clay love running up and down the hill, sniffing around, and chasing/wrestling each other, without the fear of running into a urine-soaked boulder or pack of dogs (Washington). The only negative...my dogs think the new recycled rubber-chips are chew toys;) To P&G and the hard working folks that put this park together (and continue to make improvements), Jordy, Clay, Erin & Ben THANK YOU!!!

    The park itself is great and the dogs are mostly great too. I've seen poop laying around but not much. Most owners seem to be really good at pick up after their dogs. I'm only giving it 4 stars because my older husky and I were there last week and some man with 3 male dogs was letting them charge her and the other dogs. The third time it happened one of the males bit and jumped on her. I've been taking her still but be careful because he didn't care that his dogs were doing this to all the dogs. She's an old lady and now she's been nipping at dogs that get to close and she has never done that in the 10 years of her life. Watch out for the dogs, two mutts and a st. Bernard.

    First time here with my pup and I'll definitely be back! Nice little spot for my dog to run around in the city!

    See all

    Is Fido open today Tuesday September 15?

    Yes. It’s open 24/7. Lighting isn’t the greatest past sunset.

    Hello , looking for dog parks near me that do not have a pit ban? My pitty mix is a big baby and loves people and other dogs. Does this park have a restriction on breed?

    No. As long as you and your dog are social, you’re welcome.

    As with anything, dogs are very adaptable animals and can learn to run on the gravel just fine.

They also have water for dogs, benches to sit on, a picnic table to eat at, and a gorgeous huge ancient oak tree that my dog climbed up, impressing another dog owner. There are plenty of poop bags and garbage cans to dispose of your dogs' poop. Some owners didn't pick up their dog's poop but that is the owners' fault. I picked mine's up. My dog had so much fun running around with me, I had brought a toy. Since it was a wet cooler (but warm for the month) weekday midday we were alone for a while then joined by a sweet lady bulldog. When a small beagle came in, it chased my dog around and when another sleek fast dog joined the beagle in chasing my dog, the beejesus was scared out of my dog. I sat on the bench and my 70-lb pitbull jumped in my lap for protection from the dogs.

She never had any issues at all and all the other dogs seemed to love her and want to play with her. We took her in April and she got attacked by all of the other 14 dogs that were there, tried to hide behind a man sitting against the fence to get away from the other dogs. She had to get 4 stitches in her neck from another dog biting her. None of the other owners seemed to have any issue with what happened when all of these dogs came after mine for no reason at all. Tried to take her back in June. It went a little bit better until a woman with 2 dogs showed up and both of them went after my dog. We left before it got bad, but that woman had nothing to say about the way her dogs were acting. Lots of unaltered and aggressive dogs with seemingly irresponsible owners. Definitely wouldn't recommend going here unless you want to deal with a stressful situation every time you take your dog to the park.

    Highland Hills Park

    Our visit to this park was brief yet pleasant. It wasn't until after we arrived that we discovered…read morethe small group hike/trail clean-up had been postponed. We did a little exploring. There are a couple picnic shelters, a Frisbee Golf Course, a baseball field (that is home to the Highland Hills team,) playground, trails, Gaga ball pit and a dog park. Currently the bathroom facilities are closed. The park was clean. There were many trash cans along the paved route. My children love Gaga ball, and were delighted to see a Gaga ball pit here. Unfortunately, the morning rains ment over an inch of standing water in the pit. If you are coming here for Gaga make sure it has been dry for a couple of days, and that you bring your own ball. Towards the back of the park is a dog park. That area seemed fairly busy. It was hard to see from where we were how large of an area it truly is.

    This review is ONLY meant to reach out to the audience of dog owners with baby's and small…read morechildren. It's not meant to reflect on this park. This is not meant to be offensive, but I feel it needs to be said . To many dog owners are afraid to speak up, as they don't want to sound rude, neither do I. I truly empathize that you may not be able to get a sitter to take your dog to the park. If you can't then PLEASE just don't bring small loud screaming toddlers, babies and strollers into a dog park area full of dogs!!!! I honestly find this extremely irresponsible on ALL parents that do this. This not only puts your kids in danger, but the dogs as well. There are too many things that could go wrong!!! Did you know that, there are a TON of dogs that get along just fine with other dogs, but are scared of small kids!! Do you know what a dog "could" do if they are scared and want a person or thing to stay away from them?? Some dogs may just run away, other dogs will growl, bark and snip at what they feel is a predator. You are putting way to much trust in other peoples dogs!!! You are literally putting your kids and these dogs at risk when you do this!!! When you walk into that dog park, any responsible dog owner, especially owners of large dogs, are going to immediately have to remove their dog. Have you ever paid attention to the people that leave when you come in with your kids? Or the ones that decide not to come in and turn around? When we have to leave, that cuts their dogs play and exercise time out and now they don't get it but yours will!!! If I had to guess, there are probably only 1 dog park to every 10, 0000 children's parks!!!!!! There is NO reason that you should be invading what small part of this world they get to have of their own!!!! Take your kids and dog to the regular Park k cuz they are only a FEW DOG" parks out there!! I understand that it's hard when you have small kids and a dog. Please just be more responsible and considerate of others. Especially, if you are a family with 2 adults and small kids coming into a dog park, like really ‍. There is no reason all of you need to be in there. I get your kids want to play with their dog, but they can do that at home. Or take them to a separate area, like they have at a couple locations in the area. Its just not fair to other peoples dogs. I work a lot, and I take my dogs daily to the park. I am usually only have a small amount of time to let my dogs run and get to play, It angers me so much when I have to cut that time in half because someone brings kids in the park and I don't want to chance anything with my dogs. Anything could happen!! Think about these possible scenarios: * Mom and dad bring in their 2 dogs, a baby in a stroller, they also have 2 very small and loud kids running around screaming and playing. Their 2 dogs are going to protect these kids cuz it's their nature. Someone' else's dog decided to come up and sniff the kid, or baby in the stroller. That dogs gets excited and jumps on one of the kids , which scares him and he starts to scream and cry. Their screaming and crying makes that dog think they are playing and jumps on them more. Next thing you know, that kids dog attacks the dog that jumped the toddler, thinking he was hurting him. That kid is smack in the middle of a vicious dog fight. Do you think he could get seriously hurt? Of course he could!! *Another example: There a ton of dogs that are "herd" dogs, like Australian Shepherd's. When they see small kids running around, their instinct tells them they need to get them in line and herd them. When a herding dog herds, they will nip the legs of whatever they are herding. I know because my granddaughter got bit by one doing exactly that. She was running around being loud and crazy. So that dog was doing the job it was breed to do. Was it this dogs fault ? The owners fault? Neither!!! , because that is their nature and because they are animals. As much as we want them to be human, they don't think like humans! Well sometimes they do, I don't believe their are any mean dogs in this world. I believe there are mean people who teach their dog to be mean, or that abuse their animals and they fear a human because of it and will protect themselves just like we would!! Again, I am not trying to offend anyone, it's my hope that you will read this and by doing so, it can help save a kid and a dog from one of the million possible things that could go wrong when bringing small kids into a dog park!! If they park is empty, by all means!! I IMPLORE you, please leave the DOG PARKS for the DOGS ONLY!!! I hope this opens some parents eyes! please keep the kids at home when taking your dog to a dog park, for everyone's sake!!

A wonderful location to view the bustling activity along The Ohio River Trail, and a place to gather and celebrate as a community. The park boasts multiple water play features, giant swings, an interactive foot piano, an imaginative play area for kids, expansive pollinator gardens, and Carol Ann's Carousel. Several historical monuments can be found like the Black Brigade Monument and the recently dedicated Marian Spencer Statue. I was on a roadtrip and my family dropped me off in downtown Cincinnati and I gravitated to Smale Riverfront Park because I wanted a place to explore nature and see river views. I explored the scenic walkways along the Ohio, flower gardens, fountains, public art, picnic spots, and plenty of space to just chill. One of my favorite features were the riverfront swings, big, bench-style swings tucked along the water that are perfect for kicking back and enjoying the view. They're surprisingly comfortable and such a great spot to unwind and reconnect with your inner child. The park has amazing views of the Roebling Suspension Bridge and Ohio River are worth the visit on their own, the paths are wide and great for families, and there's lots to explore without feeling overcrowded. There are splash zones for kids, places to sit and picnic, and tons of photo ops.
